With its powerful 18-inch woofer, high-power 4-inch voice coil and bass-reflex system design, this subwoofer delivers an exceptional frequency response of 32 Hz-130 Hz (-10dB) and 38 Hz-130 Hz (-3dB) that ensures deep-powerful bass that you can feel!

Equipped with a selectable crossover frequency of 60 Hz, 70 Hz, 80 Hz, 90 Hz, 100 Hz, and 120 Hz, and a slope of LR 24dB per octave, the Imperio Pro IMP118 is designed to provide unparalleled sound control. The active class-D 3800-watt peak power ensures that you have great headroom and very low distortion, while the variable input gain allows you to optimize gain structure.

With a CNC machined Baltic birch plywood enclosure, this subwoofer is made to withstand the rigors of touring. It has a sleek black polyurea finish that is very durable as well as a black powder coated steel grille to protect the speaker cone, making it the perfect choice for professional sound applications including live sound and mobile DJ.

The 20 captive-nut fly points (M10) and pole mount (M20) make it easy to mount the subwoofer in a variety of installations, while the recessed handles, bottom nylon skids, and rear rubber feet make it easy to transport and stack.

The rear panel features an XLR input socket alongside an XLR output for linking together additional active speakers. Power is supplied via a locking IP65-rated socket, which can’t become accidentally disconnected during use. A locking IP65-rated output link socket is also provided, allowing the power supply for multiple speakers to be ‘daisy chained’ from a single outlet. The unit can be used globally as it is compatible with a power supply of 100~240V AC 50/60Hz. A protective rain cover is also provided for the amplifier panel and connection sockets, allowing for safe use outdoors in wet conditions.

Finished in a durable black polyuera and featuring a black powder-coated steel grill, this subwoofer is sure to look great on stage, and the IP rated locking power connector ensures a reliable connection that won’t come unplugged.

About Octave

Octave Audio traces its roots to 1968, when Karl Heinz Hofmann established a transformer winding factory in Karlsbad, Germany. His son, Andreas Hofmann, joined in 1975, developing early semiconductor and tube amplifiers. In 2000, Andreas took the helm, rebranding it as Octave Audio to channel his decades-long passion for tube-based electronics into high-end hi-fi components.

The brand specializes in meticulously hand-built tube amplifiers, including preamplifiers, power amps, and integrated models like the V 16 Single-Ended and Jubilee series. Octave emphasizes premium features such as external power supplies, balanced connectivity, adjustable gain, and modular upgrades for phono stages and power conditioning. Their in-house transformer expertise ensures low-noise performance across full-range designs, from 8-watt single-ended units to 30-watt powerhouses.

Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Octave commands respect among audiophiles for its German craftsmanship, sonic purity, and innovative tube technology. Hand-assembled with top-tier components at their Karlsbad headquarters, these amplifiers deliver uncompromising musicality, appealing to discerning buyers seeking perfection over mass production.
